An update to Cordova Music Controls plugin to support Capacitor 2. A Capacitor 3 version can be found here (thanks to JumBay): https://github.com/ingageco/capacitor-music-controls-plugin
Music controls for Capacitor applications. Display a 'media' notification with play/pause, previous, next buttons, allowing the user to control the play. Handles headset events (plug, unplug, headset button) on Android.
This plugin is forked from the original Cordova plugin which is no longer maintained but which can be found at: https://github.com/homerours/cordova-music-controls-plugin
this integration is a work in progress. currently, most controls work as expected. there are some questions around supplying images on iOS.
PRs for rounding out issues and improving the plugin are welcome.
npm install capacitor-music-controls-plugin-for-capacitor-2
Run: npx cap sync ios
After you install the plugin, locate your MainActivity.java (can be found in /android/app/src/main/java/path/to/my/app/MainActivity.java)
import this path: import com.ingageco.capacitormusiccontrols.CapacitorMusicControls;
add class inside bridge activity: add(CapacitorMusicControls.class);
Finally, run: npx cap sync android
At the top of your file import Capacitor Plugins and this extract this plugin
import { Plugins } from "@capacitor/core";
const { CapacitorMusicControls } = Plugins;
CapacitorMusicControls.create(
